Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hullo there and welcome. This is calming anxiety, simply ten
minutes of daily guided meditation to bring a deeper sense
of calm to the turmoil in your soul. I'm your host, Martin.
Before we start, if you haven't already, do consider subscribing
(00:25):
and sharing this with your friends, family, and colleagues. But
now find your quiet place to day, somewhere relaxing, to
sit or lie down and just close your eyes and
connect now mind and body by feeling every moment of
(00:52):
every breath with your beautiful mind. To tune in now
intimately to the rhythmic rise and form of every breath,
of every sensation between the inn and the outbreath. To appreciate,
(01:18):
to take note of the subtleties of the shifting sensations.
As you inhale, as your chest rises, as your rib
cage expands, and you draw deep within you every moment
(01:38):
of life, every hope, every dream, your aspirations, the ambitions
you've held for so long. Fill your lungs and minder
with positivity, with endless hope, and then as you exhale,
(02:06):
allow all those moments of doubt, of negativity, of regret
to just drift away, as you breathe out, and to
leave your mind the monologue of your thoughts in a
state of mindful tranquility, and to appreciate this moment of
(02:33):
time in your day, in your lifeline, where you truly
allow yourself to find balance, to find you exhale doubt
(02:53):
and stress, and imagine yourself maybe drifting deeply into a
magical place of change, surrounding yourself with every positive memory,
with every happy thought, to build a place of balance
(03:18):
and care within the sanctuary of your consciousness. To rewire
the way you think, feel, and react, to be more positive,
more understanding, to react with kindness to all that you are.
(03:41):
So relax now deeper and deeper and deeper still, with
every outbreath, with every beat of your heart, let go
of stress, release all doubt, and just drift and as
(04:09):
you now find balance, find comfort in this mind body connection.
With every breath, you can, within the safety of your imagination, visualize,
to truly see in your thoughts these wonderful positive words
(04:33):
have changed. To repeat them as you read them with
every outbreath, to feel them, and just to hold them
in your thoughts, if only for a moment. So relax
now ever deeper, imagine and repeat, my future self will
(05:04):
thank me for this gentle kindness today, my future self
will thank me for this gentle kindness. Today, my future
(05:29):
self will thank me for this gentle kindness. Today, my
future self will thank me for this gentle kindness today,
(05:55):
and still deeper and deeper, you allow yourself to unwind,
to release tension physical and mindful, and to just float
within the beauty of your soul deeper and deeper, and
(06:19):
then once more on the outbreath, imagine and repeat, my
future sel will thank me for this gentle kindness today,
(06:42):
my future self will thank me for this gentle kindness. Today,
my future sel will thank me for this gentle kindness. Today,
(07:08):
my future self will thank me for this gentle kindness today.
Further and further into mindful blits, into rebirth and growth,
(07:30):
into a new way of feeling empowered, focused, relax, deeply, safely,
Imagine and repeat, my future self will thank me for
this gentle kindness. Today, future self will thank me for
(08:04):
this gentle kindness. Today, my future self will thank me
for this gentle kindness today, my future self will thank
(08:29):
me for this gentle kindness today, And simply float now
in the beauty of your mind, as if completely weightless,
out of time, away from the troubles of the world
(08:53):
around you, in harmony though in resonance with the universe
and the infinite beauty. Relax deeply and safely, because simply put,
you are worthy. Now take a deep, deep intake your
(09:21):
breath and start to reorientate your mind to set your
focus on the challenges, the joy and beauty the world outside.
Take another deep breath now, this time fill your lungs
completely to the very top, and then stretch out those
muscles in your arms and legs. Feel every nerve ending
coming back online and eyes open and smile. Thank you
(09:46):
so much for following along. Just to say, some of
you subscribe to the Calming Anxiety newsletter which comes out
every Saturday, but I now do it as a live
read through on my YouTube other YouTube channel which is
my Mindful Moments, and it's only Van's Guru. That's all
(10:10):
one word only v An sgu Are you if you
want that? That comes out on a Sunday evening UK
time six pm. Whatever you do, though, put your needs first,
rebuild your world and then if you can, become a
(10:32):
beacon of hope for others, and let's change this world,
one happy, positive thought at a time. Take care, my friend,
Let's reconnect tomorrow, and as always, in everything, be kind.
